Bronco Nagurski just might have the coolest nickname in all of professional sports.

As we continue our quest for our all-time professional football team, we take a look at the fullback position.

This is a position similar to the offensive line, where stats don't say everything; they're have been some of the greatest blocking fullbacks, and fullbacks who carried the ball as well.

Both will be factored.

So without further ado, my nominees for fullback.

7. Mike Alstott, Tampa Bay Bucs

6. Paul Younger, Los Angeles Rams

5. William Henderson, Green Bay Packers

4. Lorenzo Neal, Cincinnati Bengals / San Diego Chargers

3. Marion Motley, Cleveland Browns

2. Darryl Johnston, Dallas Cowboys

1. Bronco Nagurski, Chicago Bears tie for 1st with larry zonk csonka

For fullbacks, I'll take one starter, and that's it!

Make sure you look back and keep voting for the all time quarterbacks.

Keep the votes coming, in our quest to put together the greatest all-time professional football team.

I'm a packer fan, and I love Henderson, but I definitely put Alstott above Henderson. Most of the best FB's were found back in the running era of the league, I can't give you one name for sure that stands above all.

Starts and ends with Darryl "Moose" Johnston.

Defiitely overlooked Tony Richardson, definitely could put him in the top 10. Good call.

  I agree. Richardson is definitely too good to miss.

Just for all participating, my "list" is not extensively researched, it was a rough draft so to speak for others to get an idea of the names out there. Did I overlook Larry Csonka? Yes. You don't have to make your vote based off of my list.

I'll asume Larry Csonka gets your vote ;)

darryl "Moose" Johnston hands down is the greatest fullback of all time and should be in the hall of fame. his career was cut short and he is still better than anyone you can think of, sure the list of guys on this page were all great fullbacks but Moose blocked for the all time leading rusher. If it weren't for Moose, Emmitt Smith mite not have made it. even Smith himself said that he wouldn't have made it if it weren't for Moose.

I'm a huge pack fan, but not really sure he should be on your list, much underated, but 0 probowls. Not a great number
